ah yeh. well earlier on it was still a solid gain to use pf and core on sin, not exactly sure what changed but ez enough. agi better anyways more consistent

#

nothing worse than using pf and doing 7k damage with it lol

slow marsh
#

yeah true

echo geyser
#

monkascheme maybe PI diff for pf stonks

twilit lagoon
#

At what point do frost shards become better than unholy shards? Are they always better? I don't have any frost dom socket gear, but I'm still curious.

slow marsh
#

uhhhhh like rank 3 or 4 frost

twilit lagoon
#

ok

vestal wren
#

just highlights that we are usually fast with bans or that the bot filter works well^^

didn't know that you are a bot peepostudy

I am a human person, with feelings and bodily functions such as the breathe.

slow marsh
#

doubt

vestal wren
#

i saw that logs, tho it made no sense (0110 100 00110 0101 in ascii translates to "he")

bleak sky
#

in.....ascii?

spice spire
#

Emotion check, fuu sus

slow marsh
bleak sky
#

nvm

vestal wren
spice spire
vestal wren
#

but i think i go a bit to much offtopic 😛

bleak sky

#

I'm just tilted because I had to work today so I haven't even seen my vault

vestal wren
#

back to assassination talk. Does james play assassination in raid now?

spice spire
#

James plays sub and sin iirc in raid

slow marsh
#

he only plays sin when he gets externals xD

thorny pond
#

same tho

vestal wren
#

sin probably benefits more from pi, so i guess it makes sense

slow marsh
#

its the KA

bleak sky
#

can't you go venth sub with frost set + KA tho?

thorny pond
#

If someone wants to give you KA for free...

bleak sky
#

isn't that kinda good?

vestal wren
#

Kindred should be fairly strong on sub too if you go venthyr

thorny pond
#

Then you have to play venth sub lol

slow marsh
#

it is but its strongest for frost

#

so you'd go venth sub frost set which sin would just be better right

vestal wren
#

likely can go frost on sub too, but unsure how it compares to assassination in terms of output

slow marsh
#

the itemization fits sin better i think

sharp zodiac
#

KA sub and sin are technically even

thorny pond
#

why go venth sub frost when you can just eat ass as ass

sharp zodiac
#

Sin gets a higher percent it just catches up to sub with KA

slow marsh
#

i'm sure sub actually still beats it out with dust prepull

thorny pond
#

Dust is like .5%

sharp zodiac
#

Honestly it all probably depends on frost crits

#

We love RNG

thorny pond
#

not rng if you have 100% crit

sharp zodiac
#

The math checks out

#

I mean you can probably sim it and see right. How do you sim for KA?

slow marsh
#

isn't dust better for venth than kyrian though

sharp zodiac
#

Dust is too scary for me. Can’t trust those fucking Boomkins not to pull early

slow marsh
#

yeah that's why you just gotta pull before them 😛

sharp zodiac
#

The real pull timer is watching wrath travel through the sky

#

The golden beam

slow marsh
#

that too

vestal wren
#

but ye, the basic version is not worth a lot

thorny pond
#

damn we got it to that huh

vestal wren
#

(tho i haven't simmed it on assassination, only on subtlety)

slow marsh
#

its no good for sin

#

yet

safe barn
#

sup fellas

#

how we doin in m+ with sin

#

or ASS

vestal wren
#

assassination works well in m+ but you usually look at subtlety if you push very high keys

winter vapor
#

I believe sub is a better damage profile overall, but im getting carried to 20's by my group so i can't be that bad

sand sigil
#

i kinda like to just switch it up here and there and keep stuff fresh. although last 2 weeks i've done almost all the raids on sub

#

i tried outlaw and got the worst rng of all time and then got pissed lol

#

let me see if i can find the ss

#

found it

vestal wren
timid cloud
#

Grand Melee!!!!

#

You ever just have a 10 minute long SND?

sand sigil
#

it's more about the contrast between the gm and the broadsides. the gm in and of itself isn't the problem there lol

vestal wren
#

well on the bright side, you did get to experience outlaw in raid

sand sigil
#

lol true

timid cloud
#

High highs.

#

Low lows.

#

Great spec.

sand sigil
#

but yeah i never get buffs and tonight i get buffs so 😈

timid cloud
hushed dirge
#

Debating on whether to take the belt for a 252 piece or the trinket for memes.

weak plover
#

Going for those sin parses?

sand sigil
#

eh a little bit ill see what i can get done. no 252 phial and no double pi so some logs should be hard to beat, but i think i'll be able to get half of them

#

main problem is my guild just kills every add fking instantly so where u might get some decent value from ct or multi dotting, it's not quite the same for me

timid cloud
#

You’re getting KA though right?

sand sigil
#

yeah that and 1 pi

timid cloud
#

Bless up, I think you got this.

sand sigil
#

just pray no mechanics on nine or fatescribe or kt Prayge

timid cloud
#

You won’t get Sylv though.

sand sigil
#

i saw that lol

timid cloud
#

So count that one off the list.

#

LOL

hushed dirge
#

I took the belt

timid cloud
#

You ever just...

hollow escarp
#

still missing some externals

#

can you focus magic other classes other than mage?

timid cloud
#

Yeah.

oak sky
#

24 pis

#

That doesnt even count personal pi does it

hollow escarp
#

it doesn't

timid cloud
#

Someone hit me with it once or twice, but I don’t think it helps with Winds or with Poisons.

sand sigil
timid cloud
#

I know, I’m just playing.

hollow escarp
#

imagine thinking you can get top overall as rogue PepeLaugh

sand sigil
weak plover
#

252 phial doesn't exist @sand sigil

sand sigil
#

like it's such a no brainer straight 5% dps increase

timid cloud
#

But JPC, some say, I’ve heard...you’re the man...

hollow escarp
oak sky
#

Most of the sin logs are very beatable if you get some buffs

slow needle
#

Imagine having PI for 58% of the total fight length.

#

Assuming no overlaps.

timid cloud
#

You get like 1 or 2 & you can get a fairly decent one.

#

R1 Sin is like...25 externals for them though.

oak sky
#

You can probably get top 10-20 on every fight with no externals

#

At least

timid cloud
#

It’s been awhile since I’ve cared to look.

timid cloud
#

Yeah. Kill times gotta be crispy sometimes though.

#

Give me my perfect timers.

oak sky
#

My gear only became good enough to compete very recently but my guild didnt raid bosses this past week and the previous week we wiped on a 9k+ sylvanas

#

Its so sad

#

I just gotta keep at it results will come

slow marsh
#

just be better idk

oak sky
#

There is one thing i can do

#

Just been putting it off is all

slow marsh
#

whats that

oak sky
#

New guild

#

Already told my gm im gonna be looking around for next tier but

#

I just havent applied anywhere yet

slow marsh
#

i started getting burned out a bit so i decided to finally level an alt

oak sky
#

Ive been leveling alts like all expac

#

I have almost every class somewhere from 50-60

slow marsh
#

yeah i never had any desire to until recently just being bored in general

cerulean nest
#

finally got phial holyyyyyy

#

had to pass up the fatescribe helm but whatever

arctic walrus
#

oh no you poor thing

rapid flame
#

People playing with DS over obedience, is there any reasoning behind this? Was looking at wcl and seems its the majority, i've found obedience to be similar in damage and even have better values on some fights with mfd resets in flag windows/kill timers, is it just a preference thing? For myself playing with mfd and 1 min flags is a lot more enjoyable and more engaging i guess?

balmy condor
#

DS doesn't rely on fight times, usually does a little bit better for most, and is passive

#

most of it is literally just 0 effort and sims higher

#

and that's it

Frost Mage is just 58% Ice Lance icelance

quartz edge
balmy condor
#

more ilvl everywhere

#

also no clue what's happening here

#

I assume it's just like some world questing thing or something

hollow escarp
#

is that venom rush?

marble hemlock
#

Venom rush :o

quartz edge
#

venom rush + doomblade has kept me at 6k on raid bosses

balmy condor
#

venom rush in raids

quartz edge
#

thats why im asking for help bud

balmy condor
#

yeah I would suggest talenting into alacrity and forgetting venom rush exists

quartz edge
#

fair.

balmy condor
oak sky
#

@arctic walrus damn another week of research

heavy cedar
#

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

quartz edge
#

im hitting what im simming at dps wise so its not bad.

#

but could always improve.

oak sky
#

you would sim higher with alacrity

balmy condor
#

just gotta up the sim then HYPERS

quartz edge
#

^^

bleak sky
#

and master assassin I guess

balmy condor
#

yeah subterfuge isn't great either

hollow escarp
#

unless you are doing m+

balmy condor
#

at least not right now

#

bleak sky
#

nf peepobless

balmy condor

no

#

no one likes you

go sit in the corner

you can't stop the sepsis

balmy condor

oak sky
#

always has been

hollow escarp
#

CT > PB

oak sky
#

not with this set

#

lol

hollow escarp
#

have I missed something? Hmm

marble hemlock
#

whats your problem with nf whispyr?

arctic walrus
balmy condor
#

it plays like trash and your cooldowns don't stack up

oak sky
bleak sky
#

whispyr is about to doctor the APL so nf is 100% trash PepeLaugh

marble hemlock
#

but, neither do flag/vendetta

balmy condor
#

sure they do

#

obedience brings it to 1min

#

that lines up

marble hemlock
#

but we havent been playing obedience in a while

balmy condor
#

?

#

the entire convo is about next patch

marble hemlock
#

yeah but

balmy condor
#

when you literally cannot play without it?

#

??????

#

????

slow marsh
#

imagine thinking we sync cds next patch

bleak sky
#

I don't even know what sepsis does

hollow escarp
marble hemlock
#

but saying "its bad cuz cds dont sync up" when theyre not syncing up rn either

arctic hare
#

I just lost the first ring drop that I've seen in 23 god damned runs to a pvp buff

oak sky
#

i really dont mind playing ct and using it in st but being forced to talent it for st sounds 🤮

arctic hare
#

because we pvped for it...

marble hemlock
#

i can get behind the "it plays like shit"

bleak sky
#

"and you gain 1 use of any Stealth ability for 5 sec."

balmy condor
#

venth without obed plays like shit too

marble hemlock
#

ye

bleak sky
#

AMBUSH PoggersRow

marble hemlock
balmy condor
#

but at least obed > TO

slow marsh
#

i mean 1.5min cds in general kinda suck

marble hemlock
#

also true

balmy condor
#

TO is a disaster lego

oak sky
slow marsh
#

and yes obed huge > over TO

oak sky
#

you just dont use the sepsis stealth ability OMEGAKEKW

slow marsh
#

yeah it's sad

bleak sky
#

does sepsis stealth ability count garrote as coming from stealth?

#

as in does it proc subt

oak sky
#

no

#

it silences though

slow marsh
#

it procs iron wire but not subt

oak sky
#

👍

bleak sky
hollow escarp
#

but you can cheap shot

oak sky
#

sub rogues in m+

#

monkaW 👍

slow marsh
#

maybe we can get it changed /shrug

marble hemlock
#

kinda like how shadowmeld garrotes didnt benefit from subterfuge either, but did benefit from shrouded suffocation

bleak sky
#

it doesn't make sense to proc one but not the other

marble hemlock
#

game disagrees with you

bleak sky
#

game is against NF rogues 😠

oak sky
#

good

#

😈

hollow escarp
#

sepsis in torghast is pretty fun

#

almost as fun as sbs

balmy condor
#

also really don't like podtender tbh

slow marsh
#

but double cheat death is so good for tanking mechanics

hollow escarp
#

scuffed cheat death

marble hemlock
#

podchamp is awful

hollow escarp
#

I don't think you can even double soak Guardian with it

bleak sky
#

gotta try it

hollow escarp
#

but you can with heimir cheat death

bleak sky
#

but then you die as heimir

marble hemlock
#

but you can just drop an ankhtotem

#

and you wont even need a CR

bleak sky
scarlet warren
#

What cheat death takes prio? Is it podtender then regular cheat or the other way around?

#

Just curious

balmy condor
#

depending on the mechanic, it's both at the same time!

#

usually cheat procs first though iirc

scarlet warren
#

Oh that sounds scuffed

#

Thank God night fae is dead am I right

limber lion
#

That's the better scenario

#

You can proc the normal cheat death first, and never have to proc Podtender

#

Podtender is a direct dps loss if it procs, cheat death isn't

hollow river
#

imagine getting to run Elusiveness though 🙂

gusty mirage
#

you can do that now

#

don't let your dreams be dreams

hollow river
#

yeah i know

#

would be nifty to have both for prog though

#

ngl

gusty mirage
#

just play mechagnome

hollow river
#

if only

bleak sky
#

both cheats proccing at the same time is so troll

echo geyser
#

monkahmm what if u play mechagnome with dreamweaver NF + have cheat death talent

thorny pond
#

Hey thats me

marble hemlock
arctic hare
#

I've got 50% crit, its scary LOL

clear shadow
#

is it only worth to go theo if your tea rolls crit?

#

or is agility good

#

for sin

hollow escarp
#

agility is the worst

bleak sky
#

haste = crit >>>>>>>>agi/vers for me

oak sky
#

Crit>haste>vers>>>>agi is pretty normal

rapid prism
#

so just started raiding as venth. do we hold flag for vandetta? or use it off cd after the opener?

spice spire
rapid prism
#

on a straight fight where there wont be any natural holding. Like say Guardian. At that point is it worth holding flag for 30s to line up with every vandetta?

#

30s to hold a major cd seems long

thorny pond
#

if you don't lose a cast then yes

rapid prism
#

so basically if the fight is longer than 6 mins?

#

lol

thorny pond
#

Typically you just line the first and last but that's the easy version

#

some fights you will just have the opportunity to but you need to add a lil brain power

ornate gazelle
#

can rogues soak both tank hits with cloak on guardian?

balmy condor
#

ye

#

if by both tank hits you mean both yellow hits

#

the brown swirly is obviously something you shouldn't stand in

#

that will straight one shot you

timid roost
#

is hero rotation a good guide to use for rotations?

pure sinew
#

no

hollow river
#

it can help you learn priorities, and when to pool energy

pure sinew
#

use hekili if anything

hollow river
#

very good if you're just learning a spec

#

just don't get over dependent on it

hollow river
#

hekilli takes extra set up iirc

pure sinew
#

does not

#

everything is from simc

hollow river
#

either way

#

both are fine

pure sinew
#

probably at this point both are similiar

#

as long as the author didnt make the rotation

hollow river
#

"MaxDPS" is shit

#

but both hekilli and herorotation have been recommended all expac afaik

timid roost
#

okay sweet

thorny pond
#

Not sure how invested you want to get into the spec but I also recommend trying to learn the spells of the spec and how they interact a bit. The tool is good but you’ll also want to know the “why” and it’ll make you a better rogue

rapid flame
#

Couldn't see it mentioned anywhere, but has anyone tinkered around with saving vanish for the last 3 seconds of vendetta? (~20s) to get MA buff for first winds of winter procs? Guess it would be fine to do as long as you dont lose any uses

balmy condor
#

MA doesn't work on winds

rapid flame
#

Guess that settles it lmao

timid roost
hexed frost
#

Subterfuge is giga in sanguine and halls

#

Basically shut down entire room after second overseer

balmy condor
#

subterfuge in m+ does that yeh

timid cloud
#

What's the Weakaura command?

#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
timid cloud
#

Had to get it on the 2nd rogue. :p

hexed frost
#

Ok so on the SD gauntlet and shard gigapull in halls, I've some trouble in getting the rotation. Basically any pull which has a high HP mob and tons of small HP mobs(which will die in less than 12-16 seconds)

The opener is the usual 4x Garrottes, SnD, FoK and popping CT, but then should spread ruptures everywhere(and lose uptime on main mob) or pop vendetta/flag and try to funnel the prio target with shiv->FoK->Rupture->FoK->Envenom?

#

I feel without enough ruptures out, I don't have the energy to funnel FoK->Envenom more than few GCDs

balmy condor
#

If you can’t energy sustain cleave, you would snipe mobs that live about 4-5 seconds with rupture for some energy

arctic hare
#

27 runs

#

actually just got the ring

hexed frost
balmy condor
#

If you’re trying to funnel you always want to have 5 bleeds up, or regularly sniping

#

So usually 3 garrotes + rupture on main target + an occasional snipe is fine

hexed frost
#

Ty

vestal wren
arctic hare
#

thanks

#

will have to figure out how to play sub in M+ though, cause I'm just not pulling enough imo for keys

#

not sure yet, but still

vestal wren
#

subtlety isn't nessecery the spec for overall dps tho

hexed frost
arctic hare
#

hmm

lyric grail
#

Anyone has a tier list on anima powers for raiding or where do I look it up ?

#

Etc. 1st boss

oak sky
#

not sure if we do but powers to look for are potent acid gland, elethium weights, huddled carvings, tremorbeast heart, erratic howler

drifting cloud
#

man how do you know them by name

#

actual machine

#

ten of towers is pretty good and ofc the 40% big boi one

oak sky
#

i have good word memory

timid cloud
#

That crit cloak one is lowkey slept on.

#

Subterfuge or whatever.

oak sky
#

v'lara's cape of subterfuge

timid cloud
#

Even if it’s overkill, it’s definitely gotten me some like 100k+ shards multiple times in a row.

oak sky
#

that ones alright

timid cloud
#

I think I’d go for ten, lumbering, elithium, & acid.

#

Since they changed ten its way stronger.

static pier
#

probably a stupid question but where would a good start to gearing be? got my r6 lego, at ~208 ilvl, but seems that I'm still too low for the people in dungeon finder to want me for low keys/SoD normal/tazavesh through the lfg tool

jade minnow
#

find pve guild, run m+ with friends pref. w leather... classic, there is no magic guide unless u have tons of gold to spend on boosts

static pier
#

unfortunately i don't know anybody who still plays retail, everyone either went to other games or tbcc

#

but yeah have been applying to some pve guilds while queueing for shit

vestal wren
#

the most important thing is to enjoy the game. If you do you usually can get into a guild or find people to play with

static pier
#

would be having a lot more fun if i wasn't getting donowalled whenever i try to do content that can give me upgrades lmao

oak sky
#

definitely try getting catchup gear from korthia if possible

#

should get you to around 220

#

other than that low keys is probably your best bet

vestal wren
#

to be fair, its a issue created by the players, so i can't blame it entirely on blizz

cobalt hemlock
static pier
#

theres a lust drum right? i could always make that

cobalt hemlock
#

yeah but its not as good as they real one as far as i know and if you feel like paying for each run

static pier
#

its 15%, i dont remember how much real lust is

#

they're also dirt cheap, like 125g each on my server

violet jackal
#

Real lust is substantially better I think it’s 30%

static pier
#

oh, sure

vestal wren
#

blizz already made is not that bad by having multiple classes that can bring lust

#

i think that concept should extend and classes should be able to fill those niches more easy

static pier
#

also, is there anything i can do with dupe conduits? i got 2x of the same one at the same ilvl

#

or just delete them and feel bad

thorny pond
#

Delete

#

It happens from the boxes frequently

static pier
#

yea sick

#

tbh i think i did a world quest not realising i already had it in my bag

thorny pond
#

Yea you need to slot it but often times you’ll do Korthia weekly and get 2x there if you’re close to max threshold

static pier
#

yea fair

#

actually, how hard is conquest to farm without really having gear? the unranked glad weapon is a solid upgrade for me atm

thorny pond
#

If you are just a PvP junkie sure. I think M+ is a better ROI of your time though

violet jackal
#

M+ and tazavesh I would recommend

static pier
#

I'm not, really, I just like playing arenas, so if it's a way i could get new weapons reasonably quickly that'd be cool

#

since my weapons are 190, and the base ranked pvp weapons are 220

thorny pond
#

Mists and PF are good farmable content, taz

static pier
#

lmao finally got accepted, for a hoa +2
tank is 185 ilvl, healer and one of the dps are like 243

thorny pond
#

I would spam some keys for sure, if you daggers are that low, if this is an alt you can buy the korthia weapon token and send them over

lyric grail
#

Are the haste/Vers or crit/mastery or crit/Vers(pvp) bis until Sylvanas dagger ?

thorny pond
#

For PvE? You have many choices and typically it's always ilvl>stats

lyric grail
#

Y assa raiding

#

No the normal dagger from Sylvanas is better then any 249 I’m offhand

static pier
#

it is, but my main is barely ahead, no korthia stuff

normal mist
#

For assa, my sylv hc dagger was a 40 dps increase from mine 239 pop dagger lol

#

In the offhand ofc

thorny pond
viscid spear
#

My only choices were Mas-Vers 252 ring and Heroic KT shoulders ApuStruggling

#

Thought I had more options

strange python
#

Wait this isn't sub channel nvm

thorny pond
#

Yea sin doesn't benefit as much

viscid spear
arctic hare
#

well, the kt shoulders are nice, the mastery-vers ring is terrrrrrrible

alpine latch
#

Is Sin the only spec with initial sims? I checked the pins and didn't see anything in the other channels

viscid spear
#

I got lazy and forgot to do more content, so I only had 1 option in each

alpine latch
#

Ah

#

Is Outlaw still giving you like 4x more combo points than you can spend?

thorny pond
#

No idea

arctic hare
#

LOTS of combo points!

worn cloud
#

what's the assa generic aoe rotation? fan of knives and spread ruptures, garrotes and tempests around? (no prio target)

thorny pond
#

Keep garrote on CD, don't overwrite subterfuge ones, keep rupture on as many as you can, maintain CT on 2+ targets

#

!guide

golden basalt
#

And regardless of how tempting, FoK-> CT spam is useless 💔

worn cloud
#

👌

thorny pond
#

FoK is 4+ btw or 3+ if there is no poison ticking

viscid spear
#

FoK them up, sure

thorny pond
#

FoK used to be better

#

but SOMEONE went and ruined that for us

viscid spear
#

Who FoK'd FoK?

strange python
#

Man what a rough week to pug keys

#

I was hoping to hit 2500 but I can't get more than 2 pulls into a 21

#

with 2450+ people

noble light
#

Is assa rogue worse than sub in m+? It feels like I perform better with assa rogue

thorny pond
#

Sub rogue has the benefit of massive funnel

vestal wren
#

the diffrence only matters on very high keys, its fine to play any of the 3 specs if you don't push super high ones

#

the niche of subtlety atm fits very well in, what makes it the considered best option

hexed frost
alpine latch
soft shale
#

just wait until the rupture value

#

and sbs

alpine latch
arctic walrus
#

okay but also how are you performing better than a spec where your aoe rotation is 2 buttons

alpine latch
#

Because if you're only hitting 2 buttons you're not performing the spec at fucking all

#

Unless you just don't hit any of your 3 buffs

#

Let's not be facetious here - there's far more than 2 buttons in the Sub aoe rotation

strange python
#

lol why, cause you hit flag on a priority mob...and dance/symbols once every 30 sec?

worn panther
#

I mean, it it a 2 button rotation... remember when people joked about 1 macro hunters in tbc? They had like 3 buttons more that they pushed manually, yet it was and it's still called a 1 button spec

strange python
#

I’m here to finish the debate

#

Its 2 buttons

worn panther
#

yeah xD

strange python
#

Lets not inhale too much copium

spice spire
#

Too late

#

Sometimes you flag

#

Third button copium

2.3 button spec

strange python
#

Ye im sure you can include every button that you just press by default cause its just what you do

#

Shadow dance symbols flag shuriken tornado shuriken storm eviscerate black powder rupture

spice spire
strange python
#

And i have fire eater vial in my macro

#

Its like a 10 button rotation

#

lol

#

Im literally doing trig while I play

spice spire
#

Very true whispyrcopium

strange python
#

Crazy shit

#

you gotta open from stealth, so that's anothe rbutton

viscid spear
spice spire
#

Literal beautiful mind type beat here

strange python
#

Plus if you apply your poisons, that's two more buttons

#

imagine if you didn't apply them

#

Like nah you spam dance because the spec design currently allows you to mindlessly use it in aoe

#

Its basically maintenance in aoe

#

Its just storm finisher x40000

alpine latch
#

I mean, sure - if you wanna break it down by that I guess? But Sin is only a 3-button rotation at that point

#

So who gives a shit

strange python
#

huh

alpine latch
#

If you're only counting generator/spender, we got FoK, Rupture, and CT

strange python
#

cause you're not garroting 4 things at the start and tabbing them all?

#

Sin aoe is definitely more nuanced than sub

#

so you're saying sub is 2 button aoe and sin is 3 button aoe? Is that your argument?

alpine latch
#

I'm saying that both takes are dumb as fuck

#

And it's more than 2 buttons

strange python
steel geyser
#

Sub is harder in ST while dumb in aoe, sin is the opposite

#

and I find that beautiful

strange python
#

Sub aoe is very uninteresting and thats coming from a otp

steel geyser
#

🤝

strange python
#

Out of curiosity Palmer, what is your sub and sin m+ ratings at?

hollow dirge
#

Sub aoe is shit. But st is not that complicated either.
Overall it’s an easier spec than assa, even though it’s seen otherwise, mostly based on old school sub from mists and wod, which is to date the best spec I had pleasure to play

alpine latch
#

It's more punishing if you do it wrong. I think that's why it's seen as harder. Sin is relatively simple - hit everything on CD, keep your bleeds up and you're set

steel geyser
#

enemy territory can't say much here

#

👀

marble hemlock
#

sub is a garbage spec for garbage people

strange python
#

Neither is difficult if you have muscle memory lmao

#

Specs are only difficult when you’re just approaching them

steel geyser
#

sin is a resident sleeper spec in single target

#

for resident sleeper people

strange python
#

Barrier to entry is like 90% of “difficulty”

#

At the same time different things can be difficult for different people

alpine latch
strange python
#

It matters becasue they feel a lot different in 16's and 22's

marble hemlock
#

the amount of buttons in the rotation doesnt matter

alpine latch
#

Great - I don't care about 22s. That wasn't even part of the discussion.

steel geyser
strange python
#

Yeah i know - i was just trying to get a vantage point to which you are seeing things from lol

marble hemlock
#

a spec can have 20 rotational buttons, if you only ever press 3 of them 98% of the time, its not a hard spec

#

and m+ in particular isnt about dps, its about executing mechanics.

#

unless youre playing 28s, what class or spec you play doesnt matter

alpine latch
#

I'm seeing things from "if you hit a button every 30s as a core part of your rotation, ignoring it from how many buttons you say the spec has is stupid af" point of view

#

Otherwise, Shiv isn't part of our rotation

#

Because it's damn near the same CD

steel geyser
#

Thats why I like current sub state. Fun single target rotation while dumb aoe rotation so you can focus on other stuff in m+

hollow dirge
# strange python Neither is difficult if you have muscle memory lmao

Well that depends on what level of play you’re aiming at.
While good muscle memory will make you do rotations well, how and when to use what depending on the situation in raid, will still make or break your pull, rather than rotation. Being able to use your utilities to stay actively on every important target and so on.
This is not given by muscle memory.
If muscle memory was the only factor, we’d never have such difference between top and bottom logs

alpine latch
#

Also for what it's worth ghost, I think we've both spent more energy on this than we care to ... lol

#

I got like 3 hours of sleep and my ADHD is full on today. Moments of hyper focusing and not being able to focus. Great times..

I feel like class discords get a bad reputation because players with no credentials make outrageous claims and back them up with nonsensical arguments, and it makes people assume the entire discord is full of bad takes because we don't ban people for doing that

#

Anyway, what were we talking about?

slow marsh

alpine latch

What makes "credentials" matter?

#

Which is why I've made it a point to follow up with 9.2

#

But regardless

#

Credentials are important despite how annoying it is

steel geyser
#

Does this disc have any kind of bad reputation ? I mean I understand why dh or lock would have one, but ours is perfect

slow marsh
#

Which is why I defer to whispyr with most of my stuff because people listen to him

urban thistle
#

I was just musing randomly, I didn't scroll up. To answer your question, though, credentials don't matter at all if you're saying good information, but if you're saying something ridiculous and wrong, it's definitely at least useful for making it seem like you at least thought about your opinion first

slow marsh
#

And I don't care who gets credit as long as we are getting better as a class

urban thistle
#

Again, didn't scroll up, no idea what the context is here

alpine latch
#

I think the issue with Class Discords is there are some like ours and Warriors that are amazing

#

And then there are some where no one cares and no one really helps

slow marsh
#

Very true

#

I joined trueshot lodge and it's just empty

alpine latch
#

I tried getting help on a Hunter rotation once and people told me to just run it through Wow Analyzer

slow marsh
#

Yeah it's rough trying to find information

#

We are blessed prayge

marble hemlock
#

Credentials matter, to some extent, because people easily get lost in a single argument instead of seeing that one argument as part of a larger conversation that takes the entire picture into account.

So people argue any individual point with little to no context given, and then other people join in and take the argument at face value within the context that they it applies to, and then an entire argument spirals out of control over smth that wasn't even the point to begin with.

Credentials matter, because they give a context. Most people will know that most of what I say is within the context of m+, for example.

urban thistle
#

Or playing inferior specs because you can't multi task

slow marsh
marble hemlock
#

When Zephyr comments on smth in Assa or Sub, you know it to be within the context of an Outlaw OTP

steel geyser
marble hemlock
#

etc.

urban thistle
#

Not even

marble hemlock
#

Genshin OTP, sorry

urban thistle
#

When Zephyr posts message in spec channel, you know it to be a troll/meme message

alpine latch
#

His waifuus are top of the line

marble hemlock
#

True Zeph

#

But yeah, context matters, and credentials give context (or lack thereof)

urban thistle
marble hemlock
#

Dont ever confuse that with the fact that credentials matter. They don't. Anyone without any credentials can still give context.

I've actually really been enjoying feral too - but like every parse they have is 10-20% lower than rogue

Feral is cool

What do they even bring other than roar?

Damage

strange python

So they're still up there on dmg? despite being a good bit lower than rogues?

I only played it during Corruptions, but it was fun as fuck

#

It was just a non-stealth rogue at that point

strange python
#

I tried enhance - so bad...just not my thing

slow marsh
#

Working on being good at other specs helps sharpen you up as a player most of the time.

#

Sometimes it does the opposite of you're too split

strange python
#

yeah i agree

slow marsh
#

Or bail too early

strange python
#

I can perform similarly in m+ or raid as sub or sin - and 3 of the 4 covenants on either spec.

#

Feral ST is bonkers

#

that's why i like playing only rogue

slow marsh
#

Hot take but I don't think any rogue main should bother with alts until they can play all 3 specs

strange python
#

You get a deeper feel for the class

#

yeah outlaw just isn't my thing

#

I tried

alpine latch
strange python
#

lol

slow marsh
#

True

alpine latch
#

I specifically tell people I'm not a good rogue, I'm just good at the spec I'm playing at the time.

strange python
#

so a dude parsing 100's as sub/sin that hasn't tried outlaw - just isn't good at the class

#

ok

slow marsh
#

You can be good at a spec but not the class

strange python
#

You do just say a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense lol

alpine latch
#

👍

slow marsh
#

And you play feral so

misty holly
alpine latch
#

hahaha

#

That sounds like me man

slow marsh
#

But anyways just because you aren't a fan of a spec doesn't mean you can't still learn it

strange python
#

you have to have the desire though

alpine latch
#

I mostly play one-spec per class and I learn it to the best of my ability

strange python
#

Zero desire to put on a 239 pox and try to learn outlaw

slow marsh
#

You do you then

strange python
#

Guess I'm a bad rogue lol

inland hull
#

This is my first expansion as rogue, so sin feels like a good starting point. I just actually ran my first +20s as sin this past week and kept up overall dps with our unholy and marksman, so I don't feel bad about it.

slow marsh
#

For most people it honestly doesn't matter because they can play any spec and their raid will take them

alpine latch
bleak knoll
#

I know there is a guide on wowhead, but I'm getting weird results (damage) on when I use Vendetta/Flaggellation. What order needs to happen in order to maximize the damage output?

strange python
#

yeah if you timed a 20 and kept up with them, you're golden

alpine latch
#

Could you perform it at an okay level while not playing it regularly?

strange python
alpine latch
#

eh, so you're good at 2 specs

#

That's better than most

bleak knoll
slow marsh
#

Ye its not a huge deal but it is an extra global or two of vendetta which is a gain

inland hull
alpine latch
#

Nice! I completed a 20 but got 0 points for it. Tyranical PF for my first 20 was probably a bad choice..

strange python
#

yeah - it's tough to say - theoretically you should probably be behind them.

#

*in overall

#

i've timed 21's and been top dmg though ... and missed 20's and been bottom ... it's just weird man

weak plover
#

anytime I am top damage in a key it feels pretty sus

alpine latch

I'm really good at playing one spec at a time, too. But I've never managed to do a boss as sub and outlaw at once, let alone all three
